Providing high-quality CPR with minimal interruptions in chest compressions and with controlled ventilations. Beginning CPR with compressions rather than ventilations (C-A-B instead of A-B-C) to emphasize the primary importance of chest compressions and to decrease barriers to starting CPR.

There is a correlation between the overall performance of an EMS system and SCA survival rates.

The attributes of collaboration and measurement which contribute to good SCA outcomes also contribute to better EMS care in general

Collaboration that’s required to improve SCA survival rates means connections between pre-hospital and hospital are strong, which has positive implications for the entire system

Undertaking an effort to improve SCA outcomes can have a positive effect on the entire EMS system, in terms of building relationships, cultural changes, and an emphasis on performance and quality improvement
